Single-Use filter capsules with constant, stable flow-rates providing efficient, high viral clearance and significantly-reduced processing costs
With the ever-present risk of virus contamination in biologic products, potential sources of virus contamination of biotechnology products include viruses associated with the cell lines (endogenous viruses), or viruses introduced into the bioreactor from culture medium or during the production processes (adventitious viruses).病毒还可能存在捐献的血浆衍生物中。Kleenpak Nova Filter Capsules with Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter Membrane are encapsulated, direct flow filters that combine robust, high viral clearance of parvovirus and larger viruses with high throughput capacity and stable flow rates, in both dilute and complex concentrated biological fluids.Consistent flow rates and high throughputs provide superior control of process performance and costs.The encapsulated format removes operating costs associated with traditional formats, such as cleaning and maintenance of filter housings, and cleaning validation.Capsules can be autoclaved and supplied as part of a single-use processing system such as a filter/tubing/biocontainer set.

High Parvovirus Clearance
Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter membrane demonstrates highly-efficient clearance of both small ‘non-enveloped’ viruses as well as large viruses.Figure 1 provides an example of its high parvovirus clearance by showing the typical performance of a Pegasus SV4 filter in a 1 g.L-1BSA solution, as per the PDA’s guidelines:图 1
Retention of porcine parvovirus (PPV, n=4) and small spherical bacteriophage virus (PP7, n=9) by Pegasus Grade SV4 virus membrane in 1 g.L-1 BSA at 3.1 bar (45 psi)1
1 PPV retention testing was carried out at an independent virus validation test laboratory using 47 mm filter discs
Due to the high resistance to plugging and outstanding through - put properties of Pegasus SV4 membrane, typical viral spikes will not have significant impact on flux decay during viral retention studies.
Constant, Stable Flow-rate Performance, with Outstanding Throughput Capacity
With the need to control the Cost of Goods Sold now one of the main points of consideration in downstream processing, Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter membrane has been designed to address this need by offering constant, stable flow rates and outstanding throughput capacity, thereby improving process and cost control and enabling maximum filtration economy and efficiency.Highly-Efficient and Economical
Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter Membrane also demonstrates highly-efficient clearance of both small ‘non-enveloped’ viruses and large viruses, providing constant flow rates with most biological fluids.It also offers stable pressure/flux capability with more complex or concentrated feeds, helping to improving virus filtration economy in highly-concentrated protein solutions.Figure 2 shows a typical flux profile for Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter Membrane when challenged with monoclonal antibody solution.图 2

Reduces Processing Costs
Kleenpak Nova Filter Capsules with Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter Membrane offer a very high filter area (2.25 m² per 10 in. filter) due to their unique, patented high area filter laid-over pleating construction which enables significantly more filter membrane to be packed into each capsule.This helps to maximize process productivity while minimizing process costs, by the amount of filter capsules required per installation, and helps minimize the hold up volume of the virus filter system.图 3
